Since there is a king's order, how can you hesitate?

This is a matter of attitude.

If Fang Jinglong's ability is worth discussing, then his attitude will never have any problems.

This is exactly what the court admires him.

The eunuch who read the order bowed to Fang Jinglong, and he didn't even dare to take a sip of tea.

Once upon a time, Fang Jifan was in the capital and said that he was my father Fang Jinglong.

But now, everyone knows that Fang Jinglong has a son named Fang Jifan.

When the eunuch saw him, he was like a plague god, so how could he dare to ask for tea?

Fang Jinglong was holding the imperial edict in his hand. What he was considering now was not whether to go to the Golden Continent, but how to go, how to act when he arrived at the Golden Continent. First of all, I learned about the geography and astronomy of the Golden Continent, as well as the Ming Dynasty’s placement there.

…………

The last rail was finally laid into the inner city.

Before laying the rails, in the inner city, near the Forbidden City, a huge station has been built.

The biggest benefit of concrete is not its advantages over other building materials.

The advantage is that it has, but whether it is a civil or brick and stone mansion, after thousands of years of continuous evolution, it has long reached a superb level.

The biggest advantage of concrete is that it can ensure the progress of the project while ensuring sturdy and durability.

Zhu Houzhao was sweating, and he laid the last rail on him himself. He drilled a huge screw into the preset sleeper hole, and then used a wrench to fix the fastener tightly in the sleeper.

This huge project was finally completed after eight months of hard work.

The 41-mile-long railway tracks and eight platforms connect the new city and the old city. The efforts of more than 6,000 craftsmen, the cost of each of them is as high as 93,000 taels of silver.

Not only that, for the sake of early laying, new steel workshops, newly built fasteners and screw workshops, sleeper workshops, steam locomotive research, manufacturing costs, and even... if the large amount of land purchased is added, then... this number will probably increase many times.

The bank tax in the Ming Dynasty was probably less than 20% of this huge project, from drawings to conquering difficulties one by one, to maturing craftsmen, to more and more students, slowly understanding how it came about and why it could be transmitted, from upstream to downstream, 70,000 to 80,000 people working, producing, and thinking about this railway.

Zhu Houzhao fell and sat on the sleeper mixed with gravel, looking exhausted. In the past three years... finally... from a concept to the railway tracks under her feet, it was finally...completed!

What you step under your feet is a road paved with silver and the accumulation of blood and sweat of countless people.

Then, he stood up tremblingly and looked around. There were students, craftsmen, hardworking, and all kinds of people. Looking at His Royal Highness, Zhu Houzhao waved his hand: "Get back and rest, and it will be opened to traffic tomorrow!"

Then, Zhu Houzhao got on the carriage and returned to the West Mountain along the way.

Fang Jifan was holding a pen in the Zhenguo Mansion with a bitter face, staring at the desk.

What are the shortcomings?

This is my real father.

I always feel that there is something missing.

Canned food, by the way, it is canned food, this can... I need to bring more. This time... the fleet will try its best to transport less cargo, and there will be hundreds of newly built ships to join the fleet. This extremely large fleet will carry countless supplies, carrying the Ming Dynasty's hope for the new world, and travel westward.

In other words, this shipping will not be aimed at bringing wealth. Although I don’t mind taking some snatches and bringing it back as a commemoration, the real task is to bring a large population to the Golden Continent.

Nearly a thousand ships of all sizes and sizes, the estimated military households is 110,000. Not only that, they will also bring their families. If they do not have enough medicines and supplies, or if they are less lucky and encounter storms, they may all be buried in the belly of fish.

In order to avoid risks, the fleet will set out in five batches, every other month...

Fang Jifan always felt that he might have brought something less.

Now, the workshops that produce "kitchenware" are producing day and night, and pig iron is enough. After being trained into steel, they forged half a meter-long kitchen knife, one-meter-long bird-driving stick, and bows and crossbows used to hunt tigers. Of course, they also created some firecrackers that express their inner joy after they arrived.

Of course, firecrackers are bigger, but after a lifetime of death, you will reach the new world, and your inner joy is always higher than during the Chinese New Year. These are all explained and understandable.

Even...a large number of farm tools and tools are required.

A large number of immigrants must be reclaimed immediately. By the time they are self-sufficient and able to produce agricultural tools, it is too late.

After all, everyone hopes that they will have a golden condom when they get off the boat. Could it be that their father will take a group of guys wearing cloth clothes and holding wooden sticks to the world thousands of miles away?

Fang Jifan searched hard, hoping to pack the entire Xishan Mountain and take his father away.

"Lao Fang, Lao Fang..."

Zhu Houzhao came in a hurry.

Fang Jifan looked up and looked at Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes were red.

Recently... it seems that everyone is sentimental and there are more people who love to cry.

Could it be that I was also moved by my crazy expedition to fight against the West?

Fang Jifan's scalp was a little numb, no, did the prince also eat this chicken blood?

Zhu Houzhao stepped forward without saying a word and gave Fang Jifan a hug: "It's done, it's done!"

Fang Jifan: "..."

Zhu Houzhao said excitedly: "Railways, the rails... have been laid, and the stations everywhere have been completed. Steam locomotives have produced six trains, each with eight carriages... Lao Fang... The palace has finally laid the rails."

Fang Jifan was a little confused.

Become...

A few years ago, Fang Jifan thought this was an impossible task.

Even when he proposed the idea of ​​a steam locomotive, he just hoped that the "brain hole" he had opened could inspire future disciples to move towards this great idea.

He was willing to spend money to try it out. On the one hand, His Royal Highness showed great interest, and on the other hand, he seemed to be happy with it.

After all, even if the money is not successful, you can always find something. As the saying goes, if the predecessors plant trees and the future generations enjoy the cool air, the money will not be spent in vain.

But now... the steam locomotive is successful, and the railway tracks are finally laid out successfully.

Although it was only forty miles... these forty miles were an amazing feat for Fang Jifan.

"Your Highness is mighty." Fang Jifan excitedly patted Zhu Houzhao's back.

Zhu Houzhao gritted her teeth and said, "It's you and I'm mighty, haha, it's done... it's finally done. Since I started to study this steam locomotive, how many people are watching the jokes of this palace. Lao Fang... It will be opened to traffic tomorrow. Tomorrow, I will drive the steam locomotive from the new city to the old city myself!"

Fang Jifan's eyes suddenly rolled: "It's better to be more lively, and some people have to be invited."

"Who are you invited?" Zhu Houzhao was a little speechless, and he looked at Fang Jifan.

The key to the problem is, will someone come if you give an invitation?

After all, no one is interested in a car that can move.

All officials lack interest in this. They believe that this is a skillful trick. Unless they see it with their own eyes, they will never agree with the steam locomotive. After all, they stubbornly adhere to the "Zi Wu said something strange and powerful."

Emperor... According to the news from the palace, Your Majesty has been trying to beat His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a long time now. He has a lot of troubles and how can he have the time to do it? What kind of interest is he having in this thing?

"I'm afraid I won't be invited."

Zhu Houzhao seemed unconfident: "Or what if we wait until the traffic is opened, they will hear some news, and then..."

Fang Jifan shook his head: "For such a big thing, we are still pointing to make a fortune by relying on this. Of course, the more sensation you have to make, the better. First, to seek good luck, and second, let the people in the capital see... I have a way."

"What's the solution?"

Zhu Houzhao felt his head hurt, and he really lacked experience in this regard.

Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao like a mentally retarded and said with a smile: "Your Highness, this is the benefit of using your head more. Don't worry, just do what I said, and be sure, everyone will come to support you when it opens to traffic tomorrow!"

Zhu Houzhao looked at Fang Jifan excitedly, and he knew that Fang Jifan would always have a solution.

"Of course... this method will have some risks!"

Zhu Houzhao straightened her chest: "I... am not afraid!"

…………

What Fang Jifan admired the most was Zhu Houzhao's courage.

Some people are born with courage.

Such a person is either called a hero or despised as a traitor.

In order to ensure that the traffic is open, Fang Jifan had to put down his work and went to the starting station with Zhu Houzhao. It was still close to the palace city and all the important ministries and yamen in the new city. This is the first railway line. There are three stations passed by in the new city, most of which are densely populated areas or golden locations in the future.

Many craftsmen are inspecting steam locomotives overnight.

Zhu Houzhao was afraid of something unexpected, so she personally carried the horse lantern and checked every position of the steam locomotive.

Fang Jifan got onto the carriage. The carriage was simple in structure, just an iron sheet equipped with wheels that could be connected to the front of the car. Except for the seats in the No. 1 and No. 2, the rest of the carriages have no seats. It would be great to stand. It would be nice to have a steam locomotive for you to sit, and what other seats are needed...

Fang Jifan could almost imagine that this carriage would be like canned sardines in the future...but... it was pretty good.

After sleeping for a while, in the early morning, Zhu Houzhao had already changed into new clothes and was about to enter the palace. Fang Jifan personally sent Zhu Houzhao out and patted him on the shoulder: "Your Highness, take care!"

Zhu Houzhao grinned with the fearless spirit that the heroes had: "Yes."

"What happened..." Fang Jifan told me repeatedly: "Don't give me my child, my child is still young."
Chapter completed!
